- | Just a guess...

- | You didn't mention what transport you are trying to use.
- | The default transport for the VMS SET DISPLAY command is
- | usually DECNET, and unless your Iris is running Decnet
- | the connection will be refused. [To see the transport
- | method, type SHOW DISPLAY].
-
- Even if it *is* running the Decnet product (we call it 4DDN),
- it won't work using Decnet as the transport. We don't support
- X over Decnet (not enough demand to justify the effort, although
- there is a definite demand).
-
- | If you have Multinet or UCX or some other TCPIP running on
- | your VAX, you can try:
- | SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=.../TRANSPORT=TCPIP
- | Your DECWindows installation may also have to be configured to
- | support this transport method.
